I am very impressed. Not a lot of people would tackle Objectivism and Ayn Rand.

I was a believer of Objectivism at what one point of my life. I found it align to my morales and ethics.

As the masses and student bodies of radical militants were rallying in Mendiola I would walk to them and ask them for solutions to what they are fighting for. Their cries of giving everything to the Filipino people and to release all political prisoners and let go of power was ridiculous and would only led to anarchy.

Their socialist rhetoric of equality and fairness was a facade to seizing power and yet if they had it they would be like Joker who said he was a dog chasing after a car but he wouldn't know what to do with it when they catch it.

I moved to the corporate world with the thinking that reason and being rational are to be expected and work output to be at optimal levels.
Management approved this mentality. American business is deeply rooted in Objectivism where the pursuit of one's happiness and wealth is the right of even man. That feelings especially of compassion and altruism are to shunned.

Here lies the problem. The quantifiable numbers are all in the green yet the motivation and feeling of safety were in red flags.

Then one day one person mustered enough courage to speak out. The way I was handling people was they felt expendable.

I changed and I discovered Simon Sinek. Hearing him talk about the Why, The Golden Circle and noblesse obligge of recognizing of the rights of a human being to be cared for, connection and altruism.

Rand has been shown to be so anti children, women and elderly who she regarded as a subspecies who could not take care of themselves and as such could not be the equal of man as the doer who must pursuit the highest ideal of working towards gaining his wants.

Objectivism naturally embraced by corporate America reared its head in justifying the greed of the banking industry, of corporate takeovers, of buying and stripping companies to sellable parts for profit all for the pursuit of one's interest.

Rand's inherent problem is not taking account that man is not just a creature of reason but also of emotions our most basic reason of deciding on something is how it makes us feel.

Rand's philosophy will have its allure in theory but when faced in the reality of life and society shows it cannot function.
